About Us

I was born and raised in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, a dainty Indian town where a life of “work-marry-kids-retire” was an idyllic norm. However, something in me wanted more than the norm of a black-and-white life. So I left my home ground to pursue high school in Varanasi and completed my undergrad in Allahabad.

However, at 19, I was betrothed and my life moved to Bangalore, where the language, weather and culture were completely foreign. But I embraced it and took up a job as an associate at Infosys, a large tech firm. As fate would have it, yet another challenge surfaced. My life turned grim, as my husband and I sought refuge in a neighbour’s basement, packing along financial debt, an infant and the absence of a stable income. Even at rock bottom, my dreams came knocking again with an entrepreneurial vision. I began my own apparel business while working under Satya Paul, a prominent fashion designer. Gradually, I secured my savings, cleared my family’s debts and built my humble abode.

I didn’t stop there. I expanded my network, tackled every failure and built what grew to be my own global business. As my ventures grew, so did my aspirations. Today, several dreamers still lack the tenacity to break out of norms. Especially women, children and young entrepreneurs. I decided to dedicate my time and energy to uplifting their lives. From advocating for female leadership, mentoring future leaders, educating children and alleviating the deprived sections of society, my commitment lies in helping more people follow their dreams and build better lives.

From leaving Jaunpur to my life today, from being entangled in debt to being a high-net-worth businesswoman — I realised that I could share my learnings to help you see the world in a new light. Where individuals are built up, regardless of their gender. Where opportunities are pursued, with passion. Where determination and fresh perspectives lead us towards a life that echoes with promise and potential.
